Docs: http://davidlauria.com/software/cidrss_v5.htm Download: http://davidlauria.com/software cidrss takes your caller-id log and publishes it in four different formats. It works with the two major CID programs on the Tivo, elseed and ncid , and requires the very excellent TivoWebPlus 2.x . This thread is the place to post questions and comments. I update the program all the time, so feel free to post feature requests too.

Vonage messages on your Tivo

There's a great Tivo application called TiVonage, which allow you to listen to and return Vonage calls right from your TV. It requires HME, which means that it's only compatible with standalone units or hacked DirecTV Tivos running the 6.3x software . That leaves out a lot of people, so I got to thinking about how it could be done on earlier software versions. If you have a hacked DirecTivo running the 6.2x software, and won't be upgrading (so as not to lose MRV) than this will at least let you hear your messages. Here's a list of necessary software: Voicemail Retriever JavaHMO Sox LAME This batch file 1) Create a folder on your Windows computer for your converted messages, then add a folder named MP3 inside it. Make sure it's in a shared directory, ie: XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Voicemail\MP3 Vista - C:\Users\Public\Voicemail\MP3 2) If you haven't already, install JavaHMO and get it working, then add the Music plugin.

Support thread for screentext

download: http://davidlauria.com/software readme: http://davidlauria.com/software/screentext.htm Screentext is a TWP 2.1 module that outputs text directly to the TV screen. It works best with out2osd (which is usually installed with ncid) but will work with the Tivo's native text2osd also. All support questions should go here.

Support thread for cidtv

cidtv outputs caller-id information directly to the TV screen, using either newtext2osd or the Tivo's built-in text2osd program. It is a subset of my cidrss program, but does NOT require Tivoweb. It's most useful for those with Series 1 Tivos, since they can assign particular programs to keys on their remotes using the Trickey program. As with cidrss, It works with the two major CID programs on the Tivo - elseed and NCID. Download it at http://davidlauria.com/software . Please post any comments or questions in this thread.

Support thread for ics2rss

I'm working on a Tivoweb module to take iCal files and convert them. You could use your Tivo as a server for ics files with this, or just broadcast a specific schedule as an RSS feed that could be piped back to your TV or another computer. Specifically, I use this to view my work schedule on my TV. It's still in beta; the big feature on the todo list is web access for the iCal files. Download it at http://davidlauria.com/software . Please post any comments or questions in this thread.
